Logical and Quantitative Reasoning flashcards for JIPMER Entrance

23 of 50 cards from the Logical and Quantitative Reasoning deck — real questions with worked answers.

1. In a number series, what is the typical first step to identify the pattern?

   Find the difference between consecutive terms; if constant it is arithmetic, if it grows look for multiplication, squares/cubes, or a second-level difference pattern.

2. Identify the pattern type: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ... What comes next?

   42. Differences increase by 2 (4,6,8,10,12); terms follow n(n+1).

3. What rule governs the series 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...?

   Perfect squares of consecutive integers (n²); next term is 36.

4. In a letter series, how are letters usually converted to work out the pattern?

   Replace each letter with its position number in the alphabet (A=1 ... Z=26), find the numeric pattern, then convert back to letters.

5. Complete the letter series: A, C, E, G, ... What is next and why?

   I. Each letter skips one (positions 1,3,5,7,9), increasing by 2.

6. What is a 'mixed series' in series completion?

   A series combining both letters and numbers (alphanumeric), where letters and numbers may follow separate but interlinked patterns.

7. Define analogy in reasoning.

   A relationship in which a pair of items shares a specific relation, and you must find another pair sharing the same relation (A is to B as C is to D).

8. In the analogy 'Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?', what is the answer and the relationship?

   School. Relationship = worker to their workplace.

9. What is classification (odd-one-out) reasoning?

   Identifying the item in a group that does not share the common property of the others; all but one belong to the same category.

10. In classification, which is the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Marigold, Mango? Why?

    Mango. The others are flowers; mango is a fruit.

11. What is coding-decoding in reasoning?

    A method of encrypting words/numbers using a rule (shifting letters, substitution, etc.); you decode by reversing the rule.

12. If in a code CAT = DBU, what is the coding rule?

    Each letter is shifted forward by +1 in the alphabet (C→D, A→B, T→U).

13. If DOG is coded as 4-15-7, what coding rule is used?

    Each letter is replaced by its alphabet position number (D=4, O=15, G=7).

14. In blood relations, who is your 'paternal uncle'?

    Your father's brother.

15. In blood relations, who is your 'maternal aunt'?

    Your mother's sister.

16. What relation is 'your father's sister's husband' to you?

    Your uncle (aunt's husband / paternal uncle by marriage).

17. What does 'sister-in-law' mean in family-tree problems?

    Either your spouse's sister, or your brother's wife.

18. In a blood relation puzzle, what is the standard technique to solve generation-based statements?

    Draw a family tree diagram using symbols (e.g., + for male, - for female, = for married couple, vertical lines for children) and place each clue.

19. What is a syllogism?

    A logical argument with two premises and a conclusion, where the conclusion must logically follow from the premises (e.g., All A are B; All B are C; therefore All A are C).

20. What are the four standard categorical statement types in syllogisms?

    Universal affirmative (All A are B), Universal negative (No A is B), Particular affirmative (Some A are B), Particular negative (Some A are not B).

21. In syllogism Venn-diagram method, when is a conclusion valid?

    Only when it holds true in every possible diagram that can be drawn from the premises.

22. From 'All cats are animals; All animals are mortal', what conclusion follows?

    All cats are mortal.

23. In figure series, what types of changes should you look for?

    Rotation, reflection, addition/removal of elements, change in size/shading/number, and movement of elements step by step.
